Story
Hi! My name is Mittens. About 10 years ago, I showed up on the doorstep of a house in Rensselaer. I am polydactyl (having an extra toe) on all 4 paws. My coloring makes me look like I am wearing one of the thumb-hole sweaters. My family members: 2 other female cats (an orange tabby and another tuxedo (my facial mirror-image)), both around 13 years old; 1 male American & English Cocker Spaniel mix, also about 13 years old; 2 female humans. I’ve had a wonderful time living here, but the dog & I don’t get along too well. He smells like dog & I don’t like it. We’ve had some changes in the house recently (1 human moved out & my orange tabby sister passed away). I’m having more issues with the dog because I don’t have the human’s undivided attention & I get mad at him for being here. My dream home is one where I am the only pet, or where there are plenty of humans to spend time with.

Hi! My name is Chisaree and I am a Spirit Cat. This means I can be a bit shy or nervous and I appreciate the company of cats more than humans. An adult only, experienced home with other cats would be ideal for me! Since I am shy, I would like to go to a home with an experienced cat owner. I love relaxing in my hidey tube with my Spirit Cat friends, and if you give me space I`ll peek out and watch you while we hang.Even though I am not super into cuddles, I will still make a great companion and maybe we can even do some birdwatching together!

Story
Hello, it`s Espresso. I`m a timid, shy fellow who is still finding his way in life. I`ve had a bit of a rough go of it so far, so I`m looking for a nice, calm home where I can learn that life isn`t so scary. Since I`m so shy, I`d like to go home with an experienced cat owner, someone who can go at my pace and understand my different needs. Due to my fearfulness, I`d do best in a home with no young kids. I think given some time and work, I may become more of a social cat, but right now, I couldn`t say for sure. Do you think you have what it takes to help me reach my full potential? Then come on down to the shelter and meet me today.

Hi, my name is Christian! Do you want a cat who you can talk to about anything? If you answered yes, I can be the cat for you! I`m super good at holding conversations and I will always give you my honest opinion. When I`m not chatting up a storm, you can find me playing, gazing out the window, or snoozing in my favorite bed. I love being the center of attention, so I will need to be your only cat. I also have some medical issues, but it`s not as scary as it sounds. If you want a new gossip buddy, please email tmanzer@mohawkhumane.org to set up an appointment so we can meet each other. I can`t wait to spill some tea with you!
